Build an Android Application Development Environment in Windows-Eclipse/Android/ADT

Tian haili @ csdn

The Android Application Development Environment under window has been set up on my machine a long time ago. However, after a long time, I don't know where to put it, and the tools have basically been upgraded. I re-installed it again today and found that there are still some problems during the installation process, it is recorded here for future reference, and it also hopes to help others.

Download installation steps refer to: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

 

1. Prepare the tool

Download JDK

JDK 5.0 Update 22 (jdk-rj5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe), or Java SE 6 Update 26 (jdk-6u26-windows-i586.exe)

Download Eclipse IDE

Download the package at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads. I am using the eclipse 3.6 (Helios) for Java developer eclipse-java-helios-SR2-win32.zip.

Note]The latest version of eclipse 3.7 (indigo) cannot install ADT. Some plug-ins required by ADT are missing. Do not download and use them.

Download Android SDK tools

Download the SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Note that the download here is not an SDK, but an SDK manager or an android SDK and AVD manager.

I downloaded android-sdk_r12-windows.zip.

 

2. Install tools

2.1 JDK

If JDK is not installed, run the jdk-rj5_0_22-windows-i586-p.exe file directly.

Select the path in the middle. For example, select JDK in D: \ sun \ Java \ jdk1.5.0 _ 22 and select JRE to D: \ sun \ Java \ jre1.5.0 _ 22.

2.2 eclipse

Except for special installation, You can decompress eclipse-java-helios-sr2-win32.zip.

 

3. Download the android SDK platforms

Decompress android-sdk_r12-windows.zip. The directory structure on the file system is as follows:

Add-ons \ and platforms are empty. Only tools \ has content. That is to say, only SDK tools is downloaded.

Run Android-SDK-Windows \ SDK manager.exe. In the open Android SDK and AVD manager, the packages installed on your local machine or the AVD search you have created will be displayed. In addition, the available installation packages are also retrieved from the Internet. (If the network connection fails, you can check force https: //... sources to be fetched from http: //... in settings ://...)

In available packages, open Android repository and check the package you want to install (platform-tools is required ).

Click Install selected to download and install. In the middle, you may be prompted to confirm the license and so on, simply accept it.

 

After downloading, you can see the following in Android SDK and AVD Manager:

In addition, the android-SDK-Windows \ platforms folder can also be seen with more content. These are the results of the execution.

In fact, it corresponds to the packages downloaded and installed just now:

Android-sdk-windows\tools\                 Android SDK ToolsAndroid-sdk-windows\platform-tools \       Android SDK platform-toolsAndroid-sdk-windows\docs\                  Documentation for Android SDKAndroid-sdk-windows\platform\    android-8\                             SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 2    android-13\                            SDK Platform Android 3.2, API 13, revision 1Android-sdk-windows\samples\    android-8\                             Samples for SDK API 8, revision 1    android-13\                            Samples for SDK API 13, revision 1
